The book has 216 pages but the appendix with 100 games to understand the Berlin Endgame only starts on page 211 ?! (316 pages in total would make sense)

According to Niggemann the book is available in the next few days! (nov 21th?!)

tracke 🙂

@motörhead: Maybe the real problem in german politics is the pseudo-educated high-snobiety in the west which overrates idealism and existentialism?! Btw I‘m a wessi.

An incident that is still fresh in my mind happened in the World U-16 Championship in 2009, when I was paired against an opponent who was 200 points lower rated than me. I was scared to play the Berlin as I thought he might hold me to a draw, but my coach, GM R.B.Ramesh, told me to go and play it confidently, and the result was a 31-move victory!


Here is the game. I can't do an attachment from my phone.

[Event "World Youth ch u16"]
[Site "Antalya TUR"]
[Date "2009.11.16"]
[Round "6"]
[White "Szalay, Karoly"]
[Black "Priyadharshan, K."]
[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "C67"]
[WhiteElo "2128"]
[BlackElo "2343"]
[PlyCount "62"]
[EventDate "2009.11.12"]

I am curious whether he can instill some life into the 5.Re1 line.

Ha,
we in Germany just had the jubilee of 30 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall on nov., 9th. And now I read, it will be modernized  Huh Cheesy Grin

Is somehow in the line with political feelings. The east of Germany has some tendencies towards extreme right wingers as the elections show.

Okay, that's only politics...

Let's focus on the really important items - let's focus on chess Cool

Seems to be rather strangely proportioned - the 4 Knights Spanish, which *can* be dealt with via "Go ..Bd6 and then play chess", has over 40 pages to its name, while the Berlin Ending, one of the theory-densest and most complicated positions in modern chess (causing Cox to write an entire book on it; with 250 pages of explanation), somehow is covered in 35.

Perhaps the 100 games at the end are commentated & majorly cover the endgame, so the author felt like theory doesn't need to be delved into that deep? Either way, curious to me.

Not shown on Thinkers Publishing own website yet. But interesting book looks like. Though I have never heard of this author before.
